trump marked his first full week in office with the flurry of new executive actions last night. they target everything from the military to federal grants and loans, something that could impact your wallet in a major way. >> and it comes as the administration's crackdown on illegal immigration is only intensifying with i.c.e. agents making nearly 1,200 arrests in a single day. that is where we're going to start this morning with nbc's gabe gutierrez here in new york where another operation was just carried out. gabe, what can you tell us? >> reporter: hey there, craig. good morning. this is the iconic roosevelt hotel in midtown manhattan. it remains the city's primary intake shelter for migrants. over the past two and a half years more than 230,000 of them have come to the city, and now the trump administration is hoping to deter any others. this morning an escalating crackdown nationwide on illegal immigration, federal officers on the move in major cities. newly confirmed homeland security secretary kristi noem in new york watching this arrest

just this morning. how busy has this been over the past week? >> busier than we've seen in a while. >> reporter: the number of daily arrests rising, a senior administration official telling nbc news i.c.e. arrested nearly 1,200 undocumented immigrants in one day, roughly half had criminal records in addition to being in the country illegally. if somebody is here illegally, whether or not they've committed crimes, there is that possibility that they could be, you know, arrested. >> reporter: we saw one enforcement operation firsthand in chicago. we're now heading to the northwest part of the city. yesterday they couldn't find one particular 25-year-old from mexico with a lengthy criminal history, but this morning a surveillance team has just seen him at work, and that's where we're going. agents move in, arresting christopher lata from mexico. i.c.e. says he has a criminal record including convictions for home invasion and aggravated battery. >> this is one that's coming in. >> reporter: nbc news getting

rare access to an i.c.e. processing center where we found lata arriving in handcuffs. he denies the charges against him saying he deserves a second chance. >> i went to school my whole life here from preschool all the way to my senior year. >> reporter: he says if he's deported back to mexico, he would leave behind a 5-year-old daughter. >> he does have serious charges and convictions, so i understand he has a daughter and that's unfortunate, but we still have a job to do, and we still have to follow the law. >> reporter: meanwhile, after a brief feud with colombia after accepting deportees, president trump threatening tariffs for any country that gets in the way of his mass deportation effort. >> we've made it clear to every country that they will be taking back our people that we're sending out, the criminals. >> reporter: but for the families left behind, it is agonizing. this woman's father was just arrested. "he's lived here many years," she says. "it breaks my heart."

meanwhile, some new developments at the u.s. southern border. these are some tense moments in star county, texas, drone video released by the texas department of safety. authorities say that cartel members trying to escape mexico fired on u.s. border patrol agents who were eventually taken into custody. again, craig, here in new york there are new arrests happening just this morning. >> as we speak. gabe gutierrez for us just a few blocks from here. gabe, thank you. breaking overnight, a move by the trump administration sparking some questions and some confusion as well. the white house has ordered a pause on nearly all federal grants potentially putting trillions of dollars on hold. but what does that mean? nbc's chief white house correspondent peter alexander has that part of the story. peter, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. this pause ordered by the budget for all grants and loans, according to a new memo sent to agencies obtained by nbc news. that could be trillions of dollars on hold, the document notes, and likely tens of billions in payments that

americans receive. already this is sparking intense backlash from critics and confusion with fears it could impact those most in need who are now asking themselves when the cash flow will stop. this morning another sweeping action by president trump as he remakes the federal government in his first full week in office. >> thank you very much, everybody. >> reporter: overnight nbc news learning that the white house has ordered a freeze of federal aid starting at 5:00 p.m. today. >> my administration has been moving with urgency at historic speed to reverse every disaster of the biden administration. >> reporter: the new head of the government's budget office saying in an internal memo obtained by nbc news that the pause extends to, quote, all federal financial assistance and activities affected by president trump's recent executive orders including foreign aid, nongovernmental organizations, d.e.i., woke gender ideology, and the green new deal. the memo says social security and medicare will not be affected and neither would payments directly from the

government to individuals. but many americans get federal funds on everything from loans to food aid to farm assistance indirectly, and it's unclear if those programs would be affected. the order says it's targeting the parts of the government that will be changed by president trump's recent executive actions that could include everything from some efforts to lower prescription drug costs to clean energy jobs and programs. congressional democrats overnight saying the president's actions, quote, put the financial security of our families, our national security, and the success of our country at risk. the trump administration argues the government needs to align with, quote, the will of the american people as expressed through presidential priorities. >> we get rid of the woke -- we got rid of the woke crap. >> reporter: it's part of a series of recent actions from president trump including executive orders on the military yesterday, focussed on rolling back diversity, equity and inclusion and recognition of transgender service members.

and he said, building an iron-dome-style missile defense system around the country. >> we protect other countries but we don't protect ourselves. >> peter, back to this freezing of federal aid. does this move face potential legal hurdles? >> reporter: i think it's certain that it will be contested, but many budget experts say the president is generally allowed to temporarily defer spending. of course, congress holds the power of the purse. the senate's top democrat, chuck schumer, fired back, saying, fierce terms, congress approved these investments and they are not optional. he says, they are the law. savannah, it is certain to be among the questions the karoline leavitt, the press secretary, faces from reporters when she holds her first press briefing at the white house this night le afternoon. savannah? >> we'll get more details. peter, thank you. a shooting at a grocery store in northern indiana last night left three people dead including the gunman. it happened in elkhart, about two hours east of chicago. officials say the suspect opened

fire in the store killing two people. when police arrived at the scene, they confronted the shooter. two officers were wounded. the gunman fatally shot. the officers were taken to the hospital, both are expected to be okay. meanwhile, the identity of the suspect has not been released so far. also, no word this morning on a possible motive. now to news from the tech world that has rocked silicon valley and wall street. a new a.i. app from china apparently created at a fraction of the cost of other options has suddenly become a top download. it's emergence has put u.s. companies on notice. it sent tech stocks plunging, even raised some national security concerns. nbc's senior business correspondent christine romans all over this one. christine, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this app called deepseek is making tidal waves in the tech industry, and this breakthrough raising serious questions about where the u.s. stands in the global a.i. race. this morning the a.i. arms race now affecting your wallet as a new technology from a small

chinese lab sends big u.s. companies reeling. deepseek, a chinese company, released a virtual assistant fueled by artificial intelligence last week. it quickly climbed to the top of the apple app store fueling a dramatic sell-off of a.i. stocks yesterday. >> it is mind blowing and it is shaking this entire industry to its core. >> reporter: president trump saying companies should be on notice. >> the release of deepseek.i. from a chinese company should be a wake-up call for our industries that we need to be laser focused on competing. >> reporter: deepseek says its models perform as well as a.i.'s biggest companies and is much cheaper to make saying it spent $5.6 million training its model compared to chatgpt which spent $78 million. and google created gemini spent $191 million. >> and some of the companies in china are coming up with a

faster method of a.i. and much less expensive method. that's good. because you don't have to spend this much money. >> reporter: sam altman, the openai ceo, posting on x, calling the deepseek chatbot impressive. but responded last month to fears about a superintelligence posing an existential threat. >> i have faith that researchers will figure out how to avoid that. >> reporter: deepseek says it collects users' key strokes and stores information in chinese servers. lawmakers warning of security issues with chinese apps. >> they abuse the system. they steal our intellectual property. they're now trying to get a leg up on us on a.i. as you saw in the last day or so. >> reporter: nbc news has reached out to deepseek for comment on data privacy and security concerns. we have not heard back from this company. >> boy, what a splash this made. >> right. >> in the stock market, but why? no one seemed to see this coming? >> it's the small amount of investment the company says it made and the investments

american companies are making, it raises questions about whether maybe the a.i. craze in the u.s. might be overvalued, maybe it's a little bit of a bubble, but this morning a lot of -- a lot of folks i cover emailing me, texting, telling their clients, let's just take a beat today and see how it shakes out. >> beyond what speaker johnson just said there about the chinese stealing our intellectual property and manipulating currency, they've been doing that for years. but now, a lot of folks have been raising some concerns about whether they're honest about their data. >> exactly. >> -- and their figures. is there anything to that? >> plenty of people question whether they spent $5.6 million and what kind of chips they're using, maybe on the export control ban, maybe using the technology they're not allowed to have. we just don't know. we haven't heard back from the company. we don't know. a lot of questions on just, you know, where this company came from and how it got there. >> this is one of those things that regular folks, we don't have to pay attention to that. then it comes to the stock market. people have 401(k)s, they see a big drop. if you have money in the stock market, 401(k) or retirement

fund, what do you make of this? >> that was a big move in tech stocks and the whole market was down. some perspective. the s&p 500, likely what your stocks and your retirement are in is still up 22% over one year. and if you had invested $1,000 in the nasdaq five years ago, that value today is $2,100. so is,000 yesterday, what you lost yesterday, 26 bucks. so that's perspective. >> i like perspective. okay. christine, thank you. >> really quickly, you said something a minute ago about this chip on the banned export list, what is that? >> we don't know. so there are some chips, new generation, like top-level chips that the u.s. makes that the trump administration and the biden administration have not allowed -- don't want to be sold into china so that china can't overtake the u.s. in the a.i. race. so looking carefully at where the chips came from and what they were. >> christine, thank you. some new video this morning may shed some light on what may have started that deadly eaton

fire in altadena, california. the video was captured by a gas station surveillance camera. take a look here. a law firm suing southern california edison claims the video shows electrical arcs and sparking coming from a transmission tower. a few minutes later the orange glow of flames appears in the distance. southern california edison says it's reviewing that video to assess any possible connection between the flashes and the company's equipment. edison officials have said they do not believe their equipment started the fire. all right. to college basketball now and what has to be the shot of the year so far. arizona down by three points to third-ranked iowa state, 2.2 seconds left on the clock, and here is how it goes. >> it's got to go down the court. >> three-point game. there's love for the tie. oh! >> how about that. caleb love hitting the buzzer beater well beyond half-court. the shot sent the game into overtime. i think he shot it from my mom's

house. arizona would pull off the upset win. 86-75. caleb love will not be buying any meals in arizona for the rest of the year, the rest of his life. >> shouldn't. >> i mean, it's incredible. >> it looks like arizona is having a decent, too. what did they say, bear down? >> bear down. >> yeah. mr. roker is standing by for that first check -- oh, we're looking at snow. >> we have snow bearing down on the great lakes. we have winter weather advisories, snow squall warnings for parts of new york state, pennsylvania can see these snow squalls coming downwind of the eastern great lakes. we could be looking at a foot of snow, that area we call the tug hill plateau between syracuse and watertown heading to saratoga springs as well. now we have that storm system that brought rain to california over the weekend. now it's redeveloping ar texas. widespread heavy rain will intensify. we've got a severe risk of storms tomorrow from sherman down to curville, including dallas, waco as well.

damaging hail is part of this. a flash flood risk as well, and those high rainfall rates at night. now we move into thursday. that heavy band of rain moves into the mississippi river valley. more severe storms are expected in the afternoon from dallas to houston, but alexandria, parts of central louisiana, have more of a severe risk and a few tornadoes possible. and flooding, because from greenville, little rock, memphis, up to paducah, we could be looking at 1 to 3 inches of rain, and then that moves into the northeast on friday with wet weather along the i-95 corridor. but from detroit to syracuse all the way to bangor, we may be looking at a decent amount of snow. rainfall, though, that's what we're going to be really looking at over the next 48 hours from dallas to memphis. we could be looking at 3 inches of rain anywhere, though, generally about 1 to 2 inches. we're going to get to your local forecast coming up in the next

it is freezing and a lot of our inland valleys, mainly across the north bay. we've come down to 30 degrees as you're heading out the door in danville. the coldest on the map here at 29 after this cold start. we're headed back to the upper 50s and low 60s again today, and a mostly sunny sky weather on repeat throughout the rest of the workweek, and then and that's your latest weather. guys? savannah is enjoying our ties. >> these two, it's fashion,

resident of the louvre for most of the past couple centuries, a home that's more crowded than ever. >> what would da vinci think of the thousands of people crowding around here to snap their selfies? >> reporter: now some in italy want to change her address. "the times" reports the culture chief for the milan region in an official note says, we are ready to host the mona lisa, telling the paper milan will host the winter olympics in a year and tourist numbers would be extremely high. >> there's a lot of it in milan, do they have greater rights than florence? do they have greater rights than paris? d do they have greater rights than rome? i think they don't very obviously. >> reporter: it comes in the wake of a leaked memo published in a french newspaper. in it the louvre's director reportedly cites a proliferation of damage in museum spaces, some of which are in very poor condition, massive crowds are another concern. >> and there's tons of people crowding and pushing around just to get a picture, a snapshot of it. >> reporter: last year during the paris games, the director

told our keir simmons the museum gets 9 million visitors a year, so it has to cap daily numbers at 30,000. >> you have to limit the number of people? >> to keep the condition of visits pleasant for everyone. >> reporter: italy would be happy to borrow mona lisa while the louvre sorts out restoration plans, something french president macron will likely discuss today when he visits the famed museum. >> it's the biggest cultural prize ever. >> reporter: the mona lisa was painted by da vinci in the early 1500s and is hung on the walls of french royalty, napoleon and the louvre, except in 1911 when she was stolen by an italian employee who wanted to bring her back to italy. so how would she feel about returning today? well, as always, what she's thinking is almost impossible to read. >> all right. so what's the louvre saying about all of this? >> the louvre not commenting right now on these reports of poor conditions through the leaked memo or whether that's linked to the president's visit today.

also not commenting on this offer from some italian offials toorrow the mona lisa while any repairs are made. there have been reports that hundreds of millions of dollars in repairs need to be made to the louvre. there's also this sort of question people have discussed about whether if you go and see the mona lisa in this huge space, it's kind of not the most thrilling experience. it's crowded. do they need to do something that's a little more interesting or educational? >> zhuzh it up a bit. >> we need to send chip and joanna gaines down there in "fixer upper." or "the property brothers" or something. >> yes, great idea. i like that. joe, thank you so much. al roker is standing by. we're seeing areas get snow that don't normally get snow. >> looking at snowfall this season, well below average across the plains into the northeast, well above average as you move to the south where you wouldn't expect it. for example, omaha has only 7% of its snowfall average.

where as houston, 1.4 inches is 1400% above average. we make our way to the east, toledo only 30% of average. new orleans, their average snowfall, zero. and they're at 8 inches of snow. and then we come further east, new york city, 45% of our average, under 6 inches of snow. pensacola, florida, beating us. their average snowfall, again, zero. the reason for this? well, the pattern was just kind of crazy so far this winter. waves of cold arctic air in, massive pacific ridge blocking storms from coming. then we had all that extreme cold and all the moisture coming in from the gulf and that's what oxnard as we're now below freezing in a lot of our inland microclimates from the south bay to the tri-valley to the north bay. but as we go into the

so we all know that our relationships are essential to our well-being. if you want to improve those connections, well, there's now a book for that called "matters of the heart: healing your relationship with yourself and those you love." the author of that book is dr. thema bryant, a professor of psychology at pepperdine university. dr. bryant, thank you. thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me. >> this is such an important topic right now, and we've all heard the phrase, i think, the most important relationship that we have is the relationship that we have with ourselves. how do we go about nurturing that relationship? >> such a great question and it's so important we start with self-forgiveness. sometimes we hold ourselves hostage to the mistakes of our past, and we have to recognize

no one is perfect and we give ourselves the opportunity to turn the page and move forward. and then we want to engage in self-care, looking at our rest, our eat, our exercise, therapy, looking at healthy relationships. so self-care is a beautiful choice to really be a foundation for self-love. and the last one is self-preservation, which means not overextending ourselves, not engaging in people pasing but protecting our peace. >> protecting our peace. monitoring generosity, sort of keeping score of the good that we do? >> it is about not draining yourself, emptying yourself, abandoning yourself. sometimes we ignore ourselves, and that gets celebrated, but it has an impact on our physical and mental health. >> so when you say monitor generosity, basically -- >> keep an eye on -- >> you don't want to be too generous? >> yes! are you empty? are you running on empty or giving from your overflow? >> recently, as you probably know, the surgeon generaral of e

united states declared an epidemic of loneliness. a lot of folks who are watching, a lot of folks listening right now, who are lonely, maybe not even isolated but lonely nonetheless. what do people need to understand about loneliness? >> we first want to remove the stigma of loneliness and say that being lonely simply means you want deeper connections than you currently have. and then i want to affirm people who are by themselves because theyey've stepd away from abusive, toxic, unhealthy relationships, and we want to think about, as you're moving forward, trying to build relationships, trying to go deeper with the people you already know. we might have surface conversations and we want to take the risk of sharing from a more honest place and expanding our network, expanding our circle, by doing things you'll love and you'll connect with like-minded people. >> give me an example. how would we go about expanding our network? i find sometimes the older i get, the less inclined i am to expand my network.

>> yes, yes. one of the things we can say, what are you passionate about? if you're passionate about community service, you go out volunteeriring. then you'll have people there who have that similar interest. >> got it. >> if you're interested in books, go to book readings or book clubs. so pursuing your passion will connect you with people who have that passion. >> in the book you write about wanting to form deeper connections, wanting to have better relationships with our friends, with our family members, with our co-workers as well. we're missing the mark in a lot of ways. how so? >> so one of the ways we miss the mark is with unfair expectations. sometimes we are expecting people to be identical to us, to agree with us on everything. sometimes we are looking for people to be more very quickly instead of allowing it to evolve and grow. another way that we miss the mark in dating is picking a project instead of a partner. >> oh, talk slow.

>> so sometimes we're trying to make people into our image and say, if they only did this, if they only did that. >> right. >> we want to say, do i accept them, appreciate them, love them for who they are or who i'm trying to make them? the last one, a quote my mom used to say to me is, everyone has baggage. you want someone with a carry-on. we've got to work on ourselves so we don't put it on other people. >> something you can put in the overhead. not something you need to check. >> that's it. >> dr. thema, thank you so much. >> thank you for having me. >> "matters of the heart" is out just in time for valentine's day, on february 4th. you can find out more on today.com/books. and for more ideas on creating a balanced, mindful life, you can actually scan the qr code below me now to download and subscribe to our new start today app. savannah? we have a new shop this list with chassie post, fashion, home, beauty. we will find out if that vacuum can get all those froot loops.
